Mini rant👇 Let me know your thoughts!?
-
If you asked anyone outside of the fitness industry to describe a bodybuilder, what would they generally say? Intense, dedicated, hardheaded, aggressive, "Roid rage" maybe. For a long time I thought bodybuilding was just misunderstood, but a lot of what I see today matches these stereotypes!

Competitive bodybuilding as a sport has really grown and that's a good thing! But with increased popularity comes intense competition. The stakes are higher! People are committing a good portion of their lives to becoming the next pro.
_
Something to Remember whether you are a competitive athlete or just in this for fun… It should be fun! We compete because we're proud of the physique we've built. Even if this is more than just a hobby now, it definitely started that way! Don't forget to enjoy what you do. Smile!! Show people that you can be competitive AND love the process.

✨She believed she could so she did✨
Belief is so powerful💥
If you’re going to do anything you can’t just dream it🤔💭
You have to believe you can do it🙌🏼
I believe you can do it👭
And I’ll be here to cheer you on and remind you in those moments of doubt👏🏼
Because sometimes we can be so harsh to ourselves🤬
We will talk ourselves out of something hard the very first chance we get🤭
I won’t let you👊🏼
Let’s do this🤜🏼🤛🏼
Link is in my bio to get started today🔗

Got this great LAT BUILDING exercise from @thibarmy 👌
HOW to set up: Get a band and wrap it around the bar and a stable object in front.
HOW to start: Get into a good starting postion for a deaflift hips low, back flat, eyes forward.(I am doing snatch grip) Now start by stepping away until there is tension in the band.
WHAT to focus on: Think about pulling the bar towards your body throughput the entire movement and keeping the upper back tight!
WHAT muscles is it working: This will help engage the lats and upper back as well as the entire posterior chain.
I know it's a little awkward setting up, but if you can figure it out and have the right space this is a great compound movement! --
Love learning and implementing new exercises, anyone looking to up their game in appearance, stength, and performance should look to Christian Thibadeau!
